Isaac talks to Jake Kemp of The Ticket, The Athletc, and a plethora past Mavs podcasts. They addresses several things that we talk about around here.
fif notes:
- Question: How are the Mavs doing? Answer: The Mavs don't know how they're doing. The analysis period has been derailed a bit because of Covid and injuries.
- Luka's condition: "Mildly" disappointing. How do you get out of shape in the short time between the Olympics and training camp? The hookah pic isn't as funny as it was. Dirk didn't start really taking care of himself until his late 20's. It's not that weird that someone Luka's age wouldn't take his diet as seriously as you want him to. But the league has changed. There a lot fewer guys in the NBA living like NBA players used to. The sports science and nutrition game has changed. So, it's hard to succeed if you don't take care of yourself.
- Brunson: Jake doessn't think the Mavs can afford (regarding PR and Luka's opinion of the F.O.) to lose JB because of money, even if signing JB means paying tax.
- Roster issues: The failures in the draft are creating salary cap and team building problems.
That's all from the first half of the podcast. I'm listening to the second half as I type.
